romney was gaining momentum in the state of pennsylvania. on tuesday morning, rumors began to swirl that he had decided to drop out and that he had called mitt romney and conceded the race. surely before he made the announcement on tuesday afternoon, we found out about it. >> host: you start your story by saying that he called mitt romney and conceded in a phone call. he did not mention romney by name yesterday. guest: it was curious. he does not use notes or teleprompter, so it may have been an oversight. i think what they would like to have is another conversation where romney specifically asks for his endorsement and looked to have a public event where he publicly endorses romney. are not sure that is going to happen, but we are pretty confident he will do whatever if the can to help the republicans beat obama in november. we also have to remember that tensions are high between the two camps and there was a lot of rhetoric over the past couple months. it may take a couple days for things to cool off. i am pretty confident that centaur wil
